Your Community.
Your Stories.
Your News.
TANTV News is proud to participate in the first-ever Local News Day — a national day of action connecting communities with trusted local journalism. Because the stories that shape your life start right here in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
“Start Local.”
Why Local News Matters
In the DMV and across America, local newsrooms are the backbone of informed communities.
Accountability
Local reporters attend the school board meetings, cover the city council votes, and ask the questions that keep leaders honest.
Community Connection
From Rockville to Anacostia, local news connects neighbors and builds the shared understanding that makes a community.
Civic Participation
Informed residents vote, attend hearings, and engage. When local news disappears, civic participation drops with it.
